Lyrics Frankie & Johnny - Stevie Wonder

Frankie & Johnny

Frankie and Johnny was sweethearts
at least thats the way the story goes
Frankie bought everything for Johnny
from his sports car to his Ivy League clothes
He was a man alright, oh but he was doing her wrong
just to show you what can happen
A friend came running to Frankie
she said you know I wouldn’t tell you no lie
I saw your man riding in his Jaguar
with a chick named Nellie Blye
He was your man honey, oh and he was doing you wrong
let me tell the story
Frankie ran around the corner
and peeked in a swinging place
there she saw Johnny with the woman
he had his arms around her waist
aw… he was a man alright but Frankie could see that he was
doing her wrong.
And oh let me tell you
Frankie reached down in her pocketbook
and up with a long forty-four
she shot once, twice, three times and
Johnny fell to the hard wood floor
aw… he was a man alright but Frankie shot him because he was
doing her wrong
But the last thing he told her was
Frankie, you know I love you
Why?
Honey why did you do that?
Frankie.
I was telling her about you
Frankie.
you know I love you
Frankie.
you know that I love you
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now Frankie, you know darn well that I love you
Frankie.
I’ll always love you baby
Frankie.
you know I can’t do without you
Frankie.
you know I love you
and I know, I know I was doing
you wrong.wrong.wrong.wrong
Now Frankie.
you know darn well that I love you
Frankie…(song fades and ends)
